The End of the End

Zombie Fallout, Book 25

By: Mark Tufo

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

Just as you think you're awake, the nightmare sucks you back under.

Michael Talbot, his squad, and followers have suffered hardship and loss along the way, but finally, after years of searching, they have reached their Colorado homestead and settled in. But the world hasn't finished with them yet. A ferocious and determined enemy draws them back into the war for Humankind, and this time, the battle will be final.

As they make an uneasy alliance with Avalyn, who has taken her place as the zombie queen, it's a race to see if whether it's already too late to dismantle the deadliest weapon ever created. The enemy has developed both a means to salvation and absolute damnation, and there is no easy way to separate the two. In this all or nothing campaign, there are no guarantees of success or even survival, and everything must be sacrificed if anything is to be saved.

Fifteen years after its initial publication, the epic series Zombie Fallout concludes. With 25 full-length novels, two novellas, a graphic novel, and a host of spinoffs, a generation of fans has stayed rivetted on the horrific, often comic adventures of Mike Talbot and his scrappy crew as they navigate the monster-strewn post-apocalyptic world. Join thousands of fans for the ride of your life in this gripping finale!

What a Trip it has been.

I found Marks books at the beginning of Covid and from the very first time I listen to the preview I was hooked... along the way I've laughed, I've cried, I've gagged and lost my appetite at certain times.. although I am sad that this is the last book. I'm so glad to have found zombie fallout and Mark's writings.. not at one moment was I ever board with any of these stories, from the first one to the last one!
This last book was so engrossing I finished it way too fast.. i cried when I was on the last chapter. I'm sad the story ended. But I'm Happy with how it ended.
Thank you for ended the last line in the book the way you did. Trip is My Favorite Character throughout the ZF series.

Amazing!

Wow!!! I was almost afraid to start this book, afraid I would hate it because it's the last one. But I loved it. I'm only sad the series is finished. It was an amazing wrap. I look forward to many more Mark Tufo stories, he's just so good. And it goes without saying that the narration was fantastic, I mean 25 books in the series narrated by Sean Runette! And I have listened to every one. He is great!

I feel like I lost a friend!

Not sure I liked the ending but the “trip” was well worth it! I have been listening to these books since they first came out in audio. I can’t imagine anyone else but Sean Runnette as Michael. When I hear Sean doing other publications I automatically start thinking of Mike Talbot and the enjoyment that has come from the Talbot multiverse. Thank you Mark Tufo and Sean Runnette.
A comment at the end of the book said that it was the end of Zombie Fallout but not of the Talbot multiverse. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

The End

I’m so sad it’s over but it’s a perfect end to a series I love.
I read the first Zombie Fallout in 2010 and was hooked. It’s become my cozy comfort series and the characters feel a bit like family. The audio books are perfection and Sean Runnette is chef’s kiss as the voice of Michael Talbot and BT and all their misadventures. I guess all good things come to an end though and here we are. It’s bittersweet for sure to end this 15 year relationship for lack of a better word but I sure enjoyed the time.

This is a sad, sad day.

I am so sad as I mark this book as finished knowing it is the last of Zombie Fallout. I started reading a couple of years ago and have only had to await the release of this book and the last release, so my love affair with Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout has been fairly hot and heavy for quite some time. The Author's notes made me cry for goodness sake! Sean R. turns Mark's characters into people as real to you as friends and family. Sometimes my mind's eye could see a scene so clearly while reading it that I would later wonder if the images in my memory were coming from something I read or a movie I watched. This final release was just as comical as all his others and will literally have you laughing out loud during the very first chapter! I wish I could have learned more and stayed longer in the lives of Mike, Tracy, their kids, BT, Tommy, and company, but all good things, I guess...I only hope that Mark Tufo is not tapping out of writing game bc that would be a true travesty.

So, to Mark Tufo, to Zombie Fallout the Series, to all of the Fallout characters and to, "The End of the End," BRAVISSIMO!!!! 👏

I highly recommend this book but ONLY after you read the previous 25 titles!
